New And Not So Sure About This

Hello to everyone. This is my third attempt at posting something here. This time I am going to force myself to go through with it. I just know that I need someone around who understands. I'm hoping to find that here.

Hi Jaida,welcome! and congratulations on being so brave just want you to remember that all of us here are going through the same things you are going through, and are willing to be there for each other. Please don't feel pressured to post, i understand how hard it can be. Take your time, read other's posts and you'll know when you are ready to do what you need to do.

Until then, read the messages others have written. I'm sure they'll put you at ease right away because you are not alone and that feels really good.
